DlSINFECTANT-VAPORIZER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 498,146, dated May 23, 1893.

Application filed February 10.1893. Serial No. 461,820. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, LEONIDAS G. WOOLLEY, of Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Disinfectant-Vaporizers; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

My invention relates to an improvement in disinfectant Vaporizers; and it consists in the novel device for evaporating liquids hereinafter fully described and especially referred to in the claims.

The object of my invention is to provide an automatic fluid feeder, whereby the contents of a vessel may be maintained at a given level. 1

Referring to the accompanying drawings,- Figure l is a perspective view of my improved vaporizer. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the same upon a supporting bracket.

A, designates a receptacle having a shallow V-shaped bottom B. Supported on the edge of receptacle A, is the support or spider D, having at its upper end the screw threaded opening E.

The fluid container consists of the dome shaped reservoir F, and the downwardly extending neck G having a screw thread H, molded or castthereon. The neck terminates in a contracted discharge I.

In operation the container F, is filled with the liquid to be evaporated and placed in the spider D with its neck portion depending in the receptacle A. The liquid then discharges into the latter until the end of the contracted discharge is submerged when of course the flow will cease. The feeding of the liquid from the container and the maintenance of a given level in the receptacle during the process of evaporation are entirely automatic as the liquid flows into the latter Whenever the discharge of the container is not submerged and instantly ceases when the level is raised sufficiently to submerge the same. The bottom of the receptacle is V-shaped and the container is adjustable vertically so that a large or small expanse of the fluid may be exposed for evaporation. It is apparent that when the discharge of the container is extended into the depression formed by the V- shapedbottom as shown in Fig. 1 its end becomes submerged and the flow therefrom stops after an amount of liquid has been discharged having an exposed surface of comparatively small area; whereas when the container is raised as in Fig. 2 the entire receptacle bottom is submerged thus subjecting a much larger expanse of fluid to vaporization.

The vaporizer may be supported in an ele-,

vated position in a bed chamber, closet or other apartment by the bracket K, having a depending lug L, whereby it is secured to the wall. L-shaped latches M, are pivoted at .their angles to opposite sides of the bracket for engaging the annular flange D, of the spider D, thus holding the whole device securely inposition. The inwardly extended weighted arms M, of the latches serve to hold the upper latch ends drawn inward and in engagement with the said flange.

My improved device is well adapted for disensin colo nes and erfumes devices of Y P a: c

.pan or receptacle having a substantially V- shaped bottom, a spider adapted to rest upon the pan or receptacle and which is formed with a screw threaded opening, located centrally therein a reservoir having a depending neck and screw threads molded on the neck whereby it is adjustable in said spider and over the pan or receptacle, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
